Moreton Bay Pile Light, Maritime lighthouse at Brisbane River entrance, Australia
The Moreton Bay Pile Light featured a hexagonal structure supported by seven wrought iron piles, standing above the water at the river mouth.
Built in 1884 as a replacement for the lightship Rose, the structure guided vessels through new shipping channels until its destruction by a tanker in 1949.
The lighthouse represented the development of Queensland maritime infrastructure, marking the transformation of Brisbane into a major trading port.
Modern vessels can observe the location of the former lighthouse through contemporary navigational charts that mark this significant maritime point.
The lighthouse structure included a specialized system that indicated tide levels to approaching ships during both daylight and nighttime hours.
